Spaniexds holding office, or being ergaged in mer- cantile pursuits here, afford the means of sutsictence to thousands {n Spsia—their poor relatives—who, of course, would oppoee the ceding of the island to any other power. 6 The indomitsble pride which so entirety pre | dominates over the Spanish people will prevent their consent being given to parting with the almost sole re- malnirg territory they now possess of their once splea- did empire in this bem’spbere. . Doubtless, were I to pause a few minutes for conside- vation, other sad probably more cogent reasons you'd | recur to xe why I do not believe spain hss coied this island to the United States. But time does not permic, theréfore I content myrelf with leaving the foregoing as suffic’ent ceuse for the impression 1 entertein.

You have the po and it is your duty, to inquire into, and, upon com and sufficient proof, to indict in all cases of publi fences, or acts tending to them, that rhall be brought under your notice. These offences consist of two gene= ral clasees—felonies and misdemeanors Felonies are termed capital offences, or such as are puaivhed by im- priorment in the State prison—misdemeonors are net so punished. The list of cares nw placed before the court for your attention, though mode- rafe in com on with the nunber of ious des roportion of those arecter. The erime of b ya ful c ime of murder atill Ggure in thecalendar; and ccvsidering the brief perfod which has olapsed sioce the last grand jury wee in seasion the sorry Caprensgers by no a sas ace os i would at first view apparently seem. In these cares, would it not be ‘well to sesrsh oe eae that lend to the depravity which results in such crimes ‘as are here developed? it in to be remembered that fora tiese very inferior offences proceed. thet hardsess of heart, tha’ wickedness of 5 reeklease ose of spirit, which hesitate not to plunge into the comai sive of crimes of the gyavest » Thep, isit not need. ful tbat to mi fencea you give careful at ‘untion, a» well aa to more rerious crimes? All de- mand a strict and impartial investigation—all do mand your most serious censiceraticn. A case of awful homicide, secently committed inopeof our out be etreets, end the crime which preceded it, to which 1 have to airect your attention, seen to give forcs to what ] have said. Only within the last week ons of our worthiest policemen, » faithful and respectable m: wan of family, while in the rightful performance of his uiy, while in the act of enieavoring to arrest a young men, ho, with others about his age, were detected in the act of committing a burglary, and was flying from his pursuers, was suddeply shot Cead by the culprit. Atrocity like this needs no commeat. It is, indeed, enovgh, rot only to demand that every jus’ effort be made to bring theee cruel and wicked mes to justic: and vindicate the laws, but to look well into the cv the dreadful education—which leads to such depravi- ty. Isincerely trust that this affuir will receive your utmost ecrutiny, for by this appalling deed the public bas lost a good officer and citizen, and s family an has been suddenly deprived of an affectionate guardian. ‘A good man has been suddenly struck out of existence while truly and well Le was performing his daty. ‘The court is specially directed by law to charge you that is are to inquire into any violation of the election we, ot the aur laws, of the lawa against lotteries, and of the violation of the laws by public officersin cemanding, chargicg or receiving fees to which they sre not entitled. Alx0, that you do not disclose the fact of an indictment belog’ found for felony against persons notin actual custody, until on gach indictment they shall have biew arrested. A violation of the latter duty is declared 8 misdemeaor In all your 3 it proceeding: would be wise and prudent, and most produetive of sub lic justice, to keep them sceret. To disclose thom leads to embarrassment, to difficulties, and not uafrequently tomuch irjury. In your proceedings you are to employ serious care and circumspection—to exa each ca: with close attention—to possess yourselves of a correct derstanding of itas demanded by the proof—to consider ely, not lightly or suj cislly, but with the ut- most attention. For, to indict erroneously dreat/ul injury. To omit to indict, erroneously, isa grave wrong. If, in any csse, you are not satisfied wi'h the proof, you way examine further. If you entertein any reasonable doubts, those doubts should be given in favor of the ac- cused. Observethut by your oath you are to inquire Giligently. You are to present no man from fear, tavor, affection, or the hove of reward. You are to make true presentment—that is {o say, true under the proof; the proof should be sufficient to convict. You are to allow Ro prejudice, no prepossession, no influence but the proof, the Jaw, and your duty to gavern you, you are to perform that du‘y care‘ully, intelli- genily, ond impartially. ‘The ‘District Attorney in all cases is your lnwfal adviser. To him, when cces- ston shail require, you can refer, and on him you may rely for prompt snd correct counsel and information. Tn a}l cases at least twelve votes are necessary to indict, and prison cases will first require your attention. It is needleas to go into further detail. I have fcequently brought the subject of mock auctions before former grand juries. These offences are generally perpetrated on atrangera, and bring discredit upon this community. They require your especial attention.
